- INTRODUCTION: This study aims to assess parents' willingness to modify behaviors associated with obesity risk upon a provider's recommendation in the first six months of life among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic families.
- CONCLUSIONS: Individual- and neighborhood-level structural factors partly explain inequities in NSCLC care, and their effects vary based on the phase of care. Interventions should be adapted to the phase of care.
- Despite the well-established significance of indicators of social connection for health and mortality, healthcare providers' (HCPs) perceptions of the role of social connection in physical health and the extent to which it is considered medically relevant remain unclear. This study examines the perceived importance and barriers to addressing social connection among HCPs in clinical settings. […]
- CONCLUSION: Children with asthma experience a reduction in odds of an exacerbation and symptoms after moving to lower-poverty/higher-opportunity neighborhoods. These improvements in asthma outcomes are seen regardless of baseline sex, age, body mass index, allergic sensitization, asthma severity, and premove stress.
- CONCLUSIONS: Among HUD-assisted adults, smoking prevalence has decreased, and past-year quit attempts have increased. While progress has been made, increased efforts to support smoking cessation are needed for HUD-assisted adults.
- Objectives. To develop a national, tract-level measure of neighborhood housing quality and test its validity by examining associations with population health metrics. Methods. Using microdata from the 2021 American Housing Survey postfit to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey, we developed the Housing Quality Metric (HQM), which predicts the likelihood that a US census tract contains […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Our results show an association between HL and a higher number of ADL and IADL difficulties. Adults with HL may require increased support to address difficulties with daily activities and prevent experiencing related consequences.
- Housing is relevant to quality-of-life for older adults with and without disabilities, particularly those with limited financial resources. Among 4,898 low- and moderate-income community-living National Health and Aging Trends Study respondents, we describe and examine differences in housing characteristics of older adults with (n = 2774) and without disability (n = 2124). Next, among those […]
- CONCLUSION: Effective child obesity treatment can be implemented in local communities through a partnership between clinical practices and parks and recreation providers. Future research will explore this model in combination with newer, more effective obesity treatments.
- CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides the most comprehensive description of the behaviour change content of complex interventions targeting early childhood obesity prevention available to date. Our analysis revealed that interventions targeted multiple behaviour domains, with significant variation in delivery features. Despite the diverse range of BCTs coded, five BCTs were consistently identified across domains, though certain […]
- BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Social isolation is an increasing public health concern. Older residents in subsidized housing may be susceptible to isolation given high rates of chronic illness/disabilities, low income, and living alone. This cross-sectional study examined correlates of social isolation among over 3,000 older adults from nearly 100 subsidized housing communities across the US.
- CONCLUSIONS: Messaging about screening cessation can significantly increase older women's support for screening cessation, with low rates of negative reactions, even if there are competing messages on continued screening.
- CONCLUSION: Findings provide an in-depth understanding of how race, ethnicity, and cultural positive adaptive factors influence resilience among diverse ADRD partner caregivers. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 18(1), 21-28.].
